towards the rear of the bus measured from the rear extreme of the evaporator.
Passenger anti-icing temperature sensor: Located between the batteries and the fans of the roof unit. For
servicing it can be reached from the exterior of the unit by means of the covers of the left-hand evaporator.
Water temperature sensor: Located inside the central heating unit in the motor compartment.
OTHER SENSORS.
 Relative Humidity Sensor: Located in the extractor of the roof climate control unit. Accessible
from the left hand extractor grill.
 Passenger compartment dirty filter sensor: Located in the extractor of the roof climate control
unit. Accessible from the left hand extractor grill.

1.3. Programming Day and Time

In any function mode, pressing key nº 14 for two seconds accesses the day and time programming screen.

Selection of day, hour and minutes is by keys nº5 and 6. The selected field appears in negative (white let-
ters on a black background).
Once the field to be changed has been selected, modification is through keys nº 12 and 13.
In order to save the new programme press key nº 14 or wait a few seconds and the change is saved auto-
matically.

1.4. Programming and activation of the pre-heater

The pre-heater has two function modes: Normal Mode and Programmed Mode.
Normal Mode of pre-heater activation: In this Mode the pre-heater can function automatically as required by
the temperature of the motor or manually for a fixed time period determined by the user.
To enter Normal Mode of activation of the pre-heater it is sufficient to briefly press key nº 17. On doing so
the Iriconfort will show the following screen:
30
60
90
120
There are three options selected by keys 5 y 6. The selected option will appear in negative.
AUTO: In this case the pre-heater will activate if the temperature of the water in the motor is lower than 55
ºC and it will de-activate when it goes over 75ºC. This option only functions in CLIMATE CONTROL state and
the action is HEAT.
OFF: This option disconnects Normal Mode, halting the functioning of the pre-heater whether it was in
AUTO mode or ON mode.
ON: In this mode the pre-heater will be activated for the length of time selected from the right hand column
using keys 12 y 13. It functions in any mode (Sleepy, Wakeup, Active) and in the states of OFF and Climate
control. After the functioning period is over the AUTO option is automatically selected.
The MAX option activates the pre-heater continuously and it stays functioning until two hours after switch-
ing off the +30 (stop the vehicle engine), or until the option is manually deactivated.
On the pre-heater activation Normal Mode screen the flame symbol – if solid – indicates that the pre-
heater is functioning. When it is functioning in Normal Mode with a time selected by the user, a display will
show functioning time remaining.
Programmed Mode of activating the pre-heater: In this mode it is possible to programme the pre-heater so
that at a given time both the engine of the bus and the interior are at an adequate temperature.
In order to enter pre-heater activation Programmed Mode press key nº17 for 5 seconds. The following
screen will appear:
 Manual

MH-087 Iricomfort user manual 10/13

It is possible to have two different programmes which are distinguished from each other by the number next
to the pre-heater symbol on the screen. Once the first programme is complete the second can be accessed by
pressing key nº17 for 5 seconds.
For each programme it is necessary to introduce a day and a time which correspond to the time when the
desired heat level in the interior of the bus should be achieved. That is, in order to find the vehicle warm at 8
a.m. this is the time that should be programmed. An internal algorithm is responsible for calculating when the
pre-heater should be activated.

Select the fields DAY, HOUR, MINUTE and ACTIVATE using keys nº 5 and 6 and change their values us-
ing keys nº 12 and 13. On selecting a field it is shown in negative and in the case of DAY the selected option
flashes.
Once DAY, HOUR and MINUTE have been selected the activate field must be put on AUTO. In order to de-
activate select OFF.
DAYS can be from MONDAY to SUNDAY and it is also possible to select 7 DAYS, that is every day of the
week.
Programmes for just one day are cancelled once they have been executed and are automatically put in
OFF status. The 7 DAYS programme remains active for the following day.
The pre-heater can be programmed whilst in any mode (Sleepy, Wakeup, Active) and also when in OFF
status and Climate control status.
It can be seen whether the pre-heater has been programmed from the Sleepy screen. If it has been pro-
grammed the empty flame icon will be shown with a number 1 where programme 1 has been programmed or a
number 2 for programme 2.
If besides being programmed it is active the flame will be filled.

Possible Road Ice indicator:

If the outside temperature falls below 3° C the “Possible Road Ice” indicator will be shown on the screen.

2. Activation: Auto-Checking
As soon as the Iriconfort connector is connected for the first time or after connecting the battery (that is, it
receives a voltage through the +MCS inlet), the screen displays the message DOWNLOAD. This message
stays on the screen for about 30 seconds after which it will be replaced by a screen showing a bus with the
time at 00:00.

Subsequently, when the battery disconnector is activated (inlet +30), a check is made of all inlets and out-
lets in order to detect possible short circuits and to adjust the position of the foot-windscreen flaps of the Driver
Climate Control Unit.
During the check the screen shows the message IRICONFORT CHECKING. In the event that the air filters
of the passenger and driver climate control units are saturated the corresponding error message will appear. If
there are no problems with the filters the progress of the check will be indicated by dots on the screen.

Once the check is complete, a screen with information on detected errors will be shown, if there are no er-
rors there will be no message.

There are two types of error message. On the one hand there are those that are shown on the screen in-
definitely until they are corrected due to the fact that they impede the functioning of Iriconfort, and on the other
hand those errors – though they should be corrected as speedily as possible – which do not impede the func-
tioning of the unit, as it is programmed to function in certain emergency modes.
Permanent errors are shown on the screen inside the bus outline as follows:

The text which appears on the screen corresponds to the error detected:
 COM ERRR: If it is an error of communication between the nodes.
 LP: If the low pressure presostat of the compressor has detected a continuous low pressure prob-
lem.
 Manual

MH-087 Iricomfort user manual 12/13

The errors which still allow Iriconfort to function, though in emergency mode and with certain performance
limitations, are shown each time the battery disconnector is activated.

Once the check is complete a screen with information on detected errors is shown.

A maximum of 4 error codes are shown simultaneously. If there are more than four errors they are shown
as the initial ones are resolved.
Possible error codes are:
